Since starting her Fresh Sound series at the Spruce Street Forum in 1995, Bonnie Wright has experimented with various formats for presenting new music. Most recently, at the now defunct Sushi, then UC San Diego’s Loft, and last year at the downtown art collective, Space 4 Art (where she seems to have found a home), she’s experimented with thematic programs.

But for her just announced, fall 2012 series at Space 4 Art, she’s throwing those themes out the window. On five eclectic, provocative, even confounding Fresh Sound programs, you’ll hear electronic, experimental, contemporary classical, improvised, and goodness knows what kinds of music.

“Good music is good music, right?” said Wright, who is spending part of the summer in New York seeking out more edgy music and musicians that may excite her and her audiences. “Why continue to squish them into categories?”

Why indeed?

As many of the people on Wright’s series are inevitably musicians you’ve never heard of (even if several of them may be legends within certain niche audiences), you have to trust her. And over the years, she’s proven herself extremely trustworthy.

Really, all you need to know about this program is Conheim and Wobbly (Jon Leidecker) call their collaborations “Negativwobblyland” and they perform on boopers, which are feedback-producing instruments built from old radios and amplifiers.

Moebius, born in Switzerland and working in Germany, is a founding members of Kluster/Cluster and the California-born Lesser performed with members of Crash Worship and had a side job in San Diego digitally coloring New Kids on the Block comic books.

Oct. 2: Bassist Ken Filiano and guitarist Anders Nilsson.

Wright describes the New York-based musicians as individuals who “treat music as a rollercoaster of dynamic expression overriding stylistic constraints, weaving in and out of free improvisations, original compositions, and perhaps a standard of two with a sense of drama, seamlessness and humor.” Filiano frequently plays with his own ensemble, Quantum Entanglements, and teaches bass at the New School; Nilsson leads the Anders Nilsson Group and Anders Nilsson’s AORTA. This marks their first west coast appearance as a duo.

Manoury and the MIT and Harvard-trained Puckette were frequent collaborators at Paris’s IRCAM, and now they are colleagues at UC San Diego, where Manoury is on the composition faculty and Puckette is head of the music department. Manoury’s work has been performed globally, but rarely in San Diego, so this is a welcome opportunity.

The program will include the premiere of a new work, “Resonating Abstractions,” commissioned by Chamber Music America’s New Jazz Works program. Dressen is a student of Yusef Lateef, George Lewis and Anthony Davis, although he considers his frequent freelance engagements, includes several with salsa bands, as equally important to his music education. He teaches at UC Irvine.

Date in December TBA: Todd Reynolds, violin and electronics.

Let’s to go Reynolds’ website for a hint of what he’s about: “Todd Reynolds, violinist, composer, educator and technologist is known as one of the founding fathers of the hybrid-musician movement and one of the most active and versatile proponents of what he calls ‘present music’.”

So add “present music” to the list of genres encompassed in Wright’s ear and mind-expanding adventure.

All concerts at 8 p.m. at Space 4 Art, 325 15th St. (between J and K) in the East Village. Tickets are $15 ($10 for students). For reservations or more insight, contact
